\"\"Happy National Donut Day! Trust me, you donut want to miss this! (See what I did there?!)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To kick off this momentous \u201choliday\u201d, I was on the hunt to find the best donut in Charlotte to share with my amazing followers. It was a tough challenge, but somebody had to take it on. Thank goodness for my fabulous friend Morgan, aka the donut connoisseur.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Good news, I found a winner! And let me tell you, this donut will NOT disappoint. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me start by saying, I am not a fan\u00a0<\/span>of the cake donuts that seem to be taking over CLT. A donut for me, should be soft and have that melt-in-your-mouth texture. It should embody the fried dough confection that it is! That is exactly what I was looking for and found.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The best donut in Charlotte is at Big View Diner<\/strong><\/a>! They have an amazing pastry chef named Hannah Neikirk. <\/em>Hannah is super sweet\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0incredibly talented at what she does. I wanted every dessert in their glass case!<\/p>\n

\"\"You\u2019re probably wondering how donuts became a staple treat at a diner. Well, one day Hannah decided to make them just for fun, and they were a huge hit! Ever since then, they have become a fan favorite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The donuts are served every Saturday and Sunday! They start selling them at 8am until they sell out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each month, the donuts have a theme. This past month, Hannah did drinks!<\/p>\n

\"\"So what do these little rings of heaven taste like? Think Krispy Kreme, but thicker. Comparable to Dunkin Donuts, but better and homemade! The flavors are incredible! Hannah made me a variety pack of 4 flavors! I got to try Peanut Butter Cookie, Strawberry Shortcake, Cookie Monster and Cake Batter. Sooo good!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hannah even makes donut holes with the extra dough, because no food should go to waste! The donut hole comes included with your donut, so two treats in one! Yay!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can find these fried sugar confections at both\u00a0<\/span>Big View Diner\/ Big View Bakery\u00a0<\/em>and Rush Espresso\u00a0<\/em>in Ballantyne!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
